The probability of both events occurring is 4/15

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

P(A) = 4/5

P(B) = 1/3

Because the events are independent, we have:

p(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

This gives

P(A and B) = 4/5 * 1/3

Evaluate

P(A and B) = 4/15

Hence, the probability of both events occurring is 4/15
